The Centrum

Bird Songs started to get longer around this time and that's not a bad thing. Listen to what Bobby plays starting at 7:32

Hard-charging, uptempo version. Emphatic. Interesting ideas from Phil.

Listen to Phil on this. I love how when you least expect it, he reinvents how to play a song.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Surprised this isn't on here yet. Great mid-'80s plaintive vocals by Jerry, victorious solo.

Winterland Arena

Should be higher, like the band was this night. Monster version. Phil amazing. Love the theme Jerry gets into in the last Fire solo.

Pauley Pavilion

I love this long, leisurely version where you can really hear the singing and Keith. Also love the meandering jam after it into St. Stephen.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I love it when Jerry takes such an awesome solo that he can't sing the first part of the next verse. Raucous, fantastic version

Fox Theatre

Great version. The jam tells the story right.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Tempo is too fast but Jerry's playing in the jam is sick.
